    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the impact that Great Britain exiting the European Union (EU) would have on science in Britain. It states Britain's role in EU science would go from leadership and common vision to a minor role and mentions Britain would be less likely to attract the best scientists in the world who use Britain's position in the EU to take part in EU research programs. It considers if Britain closed its border to European scientists and ceased funding joint research programs with the EU.
